EMBA: Our Locations

Two Outstanding Locations; One World-Class Degree

We offer our prestigious Ross Executive MBA Program at two sites — our newer home in Los Angeles, at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, as well as our traditional home on campus in Ann Arbor.

At either site, you experience the same EMBA Program — and earn the Michigan Ross MBA degree respected around the world. Both locations offer our rigorous general-management curriculum with a focus on strategy; senior, award-winning members of our renowned Ross faculty; and our personalized Leadership Development Program. Both sites follow the same schedule format. At certain times during the program, both groups of students come together for courses and for additional opportunities to network and exchange ideas — and both graduate together at commencement ceremonies in Ann Arbor.

At Michigan Ross, we understand how challenging it can be to integrate a demanding MBA program into your busy personal and professional life. Along with a world-class education, our EMBA Program delivers lodging and dining in a first-class, hassle-free experience, whether in Ann Arbor or Los Angeles.

Executive Accommodations

All Executive MBA students in Ann Arbor stay in Michigan Ross’ Executive Learning and Conference Center, a sophisticated, full-service hotel connected directly to the school that caters to the unique demands of your busy lifestyle. It offers personalized concierge services, high-speed wireless, laundry/dry cleaning services, safe-deposit boxes, complimentary newspapers, and a 24-hour business center. Guest room floors feature lounges for professional networking and informal gatherings. (Occasionally, students may instead stay at a nearby hotel.) And all EMBA students have access to Michigan Ross’ Och Fitness Center.

In keeping with Michigan Ross’ commitment to sustainability, the Executive Learning and Conference Center incorporates many sustainable and recycled building materials. The culinary team in our Executive Dining Room produces fresh, local fare. We cater to specific dietary restrictions, including vegan, kosher, and gluten-free requests. EMBA tuition includes all lodging and meals.

A World-Renowned Institution

Year after year, the University of Michigan consistently ranks among the world’s greatest universities. Few other institutions have as strong a reputation for academic excellence, athletic achievement, and diversity of opportunity. “Go Blue” is a familiar cheer that transcends cultures and continents.

Michigan Ross faculty collaborate with schools, colleges, and research centers throughout the University and offer EMBA students insight and access to the top-ranked research and thinking in medicine, engineering, life sciences, and more.

Ann Arbor – A Dynamic Hub

Ann Arbor is a robust and intellectually vibrant city just 25 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport, making it easily accessible whether you are traveling from anywhere in the U.S. or overseas. The thriving local economy includes vibrant sectors in alternative energy and clean technology, life sciences and healthcare, and automotive research and development.
